Parsing

edit
  • section-tag (and other patches bundled with parsoid html version 1.6.0) patches not going out this week after all since we don't have time to test thoroughly. Plan to merge patches tomorrow and spend this and next week testing and have it deployed week after thanksgiving.
  • Have been running a linter reparse script on terbium that lints every single page on every wiki -- this is useful / required to initialize linter issues for all pages on all wikis (and get rid of some false positives based on fixes over the last couple months). This hits Parsoid cluster on eqiad. This is a python script with 160 threads. The parsoid eqiad cluster load is < 10% with this req rate so no cause for alarm. But, just a heads for Ops (I added a SAL entry last night for this) and it is safe to kill the script at any point if there are any issues.

UI Standardization

edit
  • Blocked: by no one
  • Blocking: ops for Flow dumps, Roan didn't contact Ariel like he said he would last week, sorry
  • Updates:
    • RCFilters going to all remaining wikis (was not yet on FlaggedRevs wikis) at the top of the hour
    • Also deploying a UBN fix for RCFilters
    • Working on properly stripping tags from Parsoid HTML (T179978); anyone know why we wouldn't/couldn't use PHP built-in strip_tags()?
      • Never mind, Tim pointed out some bad behavior in strip_tags()
    • We are working on a patch to apply change tags to all edits that have automatic edit summaries (including all rollbacks), if you think that's a terrible idea please speak up: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/390224/
